Baby massage oil worked for us – rub it into the scalp once a day, and after 2-3 days the scabs start to lift.

I would be taking him to a doctor to find out what’s causing them. Scabs don’t usually hang around unless they’re something more serious. Most scabs dry up, fall off and that’s the end of it

Try rubbing some Bio-Oil on them. I use it on all my cuts and scraps to heal without scarring.

I would go to a GP to investigate why they are there, and following that seek the treatment recommended. If you have already established why they are there, the I would use plain old olive oil or similar

First, you would need to figure out what’s caused the scabs in the first place. It could be some kind of mite that needs medical attention.

also my friend’s child has this and she picks them off lol

Try Nutri Rich Oil its got apricot and almond oil and great for other uses as well like scars, dry lips, cracked heels http://www.nutrimetics.com.au/tracybaker can order online and will get delivered straight to you home or PO Box

I use moo goo scalp cream, I find it really great and it smells good too

i agree with the baby oil for cradle cap but he is 3. Well if he has short hair (not lice), then it’s most likely scabs from scratching an itchy scalp due to dandruff so try anti dandruff shampoo and it should be looking better by 2-3 washes as the scalp heals and he stops scratching.

Put baby oil on before washing his hair, leave it sit for a minute or two then comb or massage the scalp to lift the dry patches before washing his hair.

i would be going to see your GP before putting anything else on it incase it makes it even worse.

It is most likely dermatitis, i have scabs on my scalp too and i just presume they are the same ones i get on my body. I’d see a GP.

I rub pure olive oil into my sons scalp and that works

If you google Craddle Cap, there are lots of home remedies.

Coconut oil works great as well…. Good luck…

I’ve been told not to use a comb but a soft brush to brush it or a toothbrush as it had the softer bristles and will not hurt the child

Try Almond Oil, it is really good and it can work!!! Good Luck!

I used to use almond oil on my daughter and it worked a treat

My son who has recently turned 3 had the same issue only a few months ago!
I used olive oil. I poured some in a bowl and using cotton balls dapped it on his head. I soaked his scalp in it! Then got him to lie down and watch a movie…I put a towel over his pillow.
Then using a fine comb, I gently combed his hair, slightly scraping the scalp and it worked a treat! He wasn’t bothered by it either. I placed him in the bath and using a gentle baby shampoo washed his hair thoroughly twice! Amazing results.

I found it worked well with a stocking or socklet and 1/2 a cup of oats (porridge) in a runn8ng bath then place stcking on head and let it down.
